Okay, lets try a Mothermark format this time:
1) This stamp has NEVER been inked before, and I have had it since 1995 (no I didn't stamp then--I just collected frogs)
2) This is my first time using color pencils and spirits. (Using the cheap stuff--waiting to invest in the REAL thing)
3) I am pomegranate-less, so I fudged with the pencils and the BasicGrey "Perhaps" paper. (Yes, I copied Emily--just shoot me now).
4) The green ribbon on the card is from my favorite dress from childhood. I still have the dress, but the ribbon sash needs to be replaced--SO---it MUST be used for card making.
5) The green primas are from RAKs the fuzzy flower is from Bazzill and a recent trip to an lss. I bought them to go with this paper, but I am still unsure of how to use them.
6) I used q-tips with the cotton pulled off as a blending tool. Hey, sometimes you just have to make do!
7) You probably stopped reading at 2 (if you started reading at all) but if you made it this far--Thank you!!

Jules, you are one of a kind and probably should be in padded room right next to me. This is such a funny story. Love the frog image and the bg and the flowers. Everything just goes together like Peas & Carrotts. (Now DH has me quoting from Forrest Gump, ew ew ew)
